OFFICE HOURS: 1 9:00 to 12:30—1:30 to 5:00 SALE POSTPONED By JUDGEGRONER Judge Meekins Or ders Sale On Octo ber 25th • Federal Judge D. Lawrence Groner, of Norfolk, has approved a lease of the property of the Fisheries Products Company neary Norfolk to Armour & Co., for $650 a month un til next August. This property was recently bid in by the Armour people for SIOO,OOO and the sale confirmed I but the confirmation was recalled 1 upon protest being made against a private sa'e of the property. The Armour people have promised to start the next bid at SIOO,OOO when the property is put up for sale again. There are outstanding bonds against the property amounting to $75,000, which have priority. Judge Groner has suggested that the Norfolk prop erty of the defunct Fisheries Prod ucts Company be put up for public sale about January 1. Some of the interested stockholders think this will be too early. Federal Judge Meekins’ who leased th» Hilton plant of the defunct com pany for $4,000 for a year, has ord ered a public sale on October 25. Protest has been made against having a sale so early as it is claimed that nobody but the lessees of the plant will bid at that time as nobody else would want to buy it subject to lease. It is argued that there is nothing to be gained by selling at low prices now because amount received would leave little or nothing for the stock holders while there might be a pos sibility of increasing the bids. Tar Heels Contribute To Farm Treatise Roy H. Thomas and J. K. Coggin, supervisors of Agricultural Education for North Carolina, are two of the authors of a new book entitled “Farm Crops,, which has recently been is sued by an Atlanta firm for use as a text in the vocational agricultural high schools of the South. This is the first text ever written on crops primarily for use in the agricultural high schools of the South. Most of the texts on this subject now in U3c are declared to be either too general in nature to meet the specific needs of the vocational agricultural high schools or they were written by men who were not very familiar with Southern farming conditions. The North Carolina supervisors prepared the chapter on tobacco for the text. Much of the information contained in this chapter was ob tained through E. G. Moss, director of the North Carolina Tobacco Exper iment Station at Oxford. The North Carolina station is considered the best of its kind in the United States. Supervisor Roy H. Thomas has re ceived a letter from the publishers of “Farm Crops” stating, “So far we have not had an adverse statement or comparison of the book. It will gratify you to know that the book is being sold in large numbers in every State in the South, including West Virginia and New Mexico.” GOVERNOR LIKES PAPER MADE HERE Governor McLean stated last week that he is very much gratified to receive from Reuben B. Robertson, president of The Champion Fibre Company of Canton, sample sheets of “Old North State Bond” paper which is now being produced in large quantities by the Champion Fibre Company. The samples of paper show quite distinctly the following water mark: “Made in North Caro lina.” Governor McLean said that it is just such advertising as this that North Carolina needs at the present time. He said that a large number of the most popular products that now enter into general trade in this country are made in North Carolina without any evidence that they are manufactured in this State. Governor McLean has written Mr. Robertson congratulating him upon his enterprising and patriotic act in advertising this special grade of pa per as made in North Carolina De partment of Labor and Printing pur chased quite a large amount of this “Made in North Carolina” paper from the Champion Fibre Company, and by doing so served the two-fold purpose of reducing the cost of paper to the State and aiding in the exploitation of a distinctively North Carolina product. i # jsjjL *®, Sill " A TO BE SEEN AT WALTER MAIN’S CIRCUS STATE Fair NUIES Ten crack riders from Troop F. of the North Carolina Cavalry will come to the North Carolina State Fair to tgive exhibitions of skillful horsemanship during the Horse Show on Wednesday and Thusday, October 14 and 15, according to a statement from E. V. Walborn, Manager of the North Carolina State Fair. These men have been secured through R. R. Reynolds of Ashville and they are associated with the Ashville troop. According to advices from Mr. Rey nolds, the troopers will arrive at the State Fair on Monday, October 12, and will be quartered on the grounds. They will be in charge of Major E. F. Jones and Captain Tennent of the I Cavalry battalion. “One of the men who will accom | pany this troop, Sergeant George Bryson, will compare with the' best trick riders of the crack regiments of the regular cavalry,” says Mr. Reynolds. “In addition, the men will bring some fine specimens of good horse flesh, among them hunters and jumpers that w.ll bring thrills of pleasure to genuine lovers of thor oughbreds.” This night horse show, according to Mr. Walborn, will be the society event of the State Fair. There will be riding and exhibitions of horse manship by ladies, gentlemen and couples. Mr. Walborn has set aside Wednesday and Thursday nights for the show and states that eight or ten horses will come from the Cav alry at Fort Bragg. He states that this one feature alone should bring more people to the State Fair during the two days of Wednesday and Thursday than attended the whole week last year. Indications are that this will be true, he says. IMPROVED FORDS | Every day new evidences comes in of the popularity of the Improved Ford Cars. It is not only expressed in the crowds which f H dealer show rooms all over the country and the groups which pause to inspect the cars wher ever they appear on the streets nor alone in the thousands of orders be ing booked for immediate delivery, but also in orders entered for future delivery. Probably the best index to future deliveries of these cars in found in i enrollment in the Ford Weekly Pur- I chase plan, which have shown a re markable increase since the cars made ! their appearance. This increase was first noticed the last ten days in August, during which the announcement of the cars was made. In that period enroll ments under the plan reached a total of 13,167 and in the ten days follow ing, the first in September, the num ber of new purchasers under the plan totaled 16,054. Those enrolled under the plan at the time the improved cars were an nounced all benefitted by the change, for they wil receive the new types and will be given preference when they desire delivery of cars. More than 175,000 are now enrolled under the plan and with others com ing at the rate of 1,600 a day it will not be long before the enrollment list will exceed 200,000. Those who are ordering cars under the plan at the present time for the most part contemplate delivery either during the coming holiday season or -tor early spring next year. SHORTAGE OF COTTON BAGGAGE IMPENDING Reports emanating from Memphis, Tenn., that an acute shortage exists in cotton bagging over the South has been confirmed by A. D. Geohagen, president of the Southern Cotton Oil Company and of the Southport Mills, Ltd., which concerns operate gi»s in Louisiana, Mississippi, lenucssee, Al abama and South Carolina. “While the Southern Cotton Oil Company’s gins are operating on full time at present, we have known for some time that a serious shortage of cotton bagg ng is facing ginning operators,” Mr. Geohagen said. “We do not expect to curtail oper ations just as we have ample stocks of bagging to care for immediate needs,” he added, “but we are find ing it increasingly difficult to replin ish stocks.” Prof. Gulley Invokes Poor Man’s Law Dr. N. Y. Gulley, Dean of the Wake Forest Law School has filed a char acteristic reply in the suit which he has filed in Wake County Superior Court in which he asks $2,500 puni tive damages from F. M. Drake and R. A. Harris for “cutting over the line” in removing timber purchased from Gulley by Drake. The reply of the veteran professor is directed to the answer filed by the defendant Drake and the pithy por tions thereof follow: “That as to the allegations of de fendant as to his large wealth this j plaintaff has no knowledge or in-1 formation sufficient to form a belief, but he rejoices in the prosperity of the defendant, but insists that defen dant’s great wealth gives him no le gal right to exemption from the or dinary process of the courts, nor en titles him to damages when some poor man sues him to pretect his property from destruction, nor does i this great affluence give defendant the right to wantonly and wilfully, with utter disregard of plaintiff’s i rights to destroy the property of the ! plaintiff, and his right to any dam ages is denied. “Further replying fe® this para graph plaintiff says, that the em ployees of defendant Drake were no itfied that they were cutting over the line of the timber in the contract and thev stopped until they were ordered by said Drake to proceed to cut all on that part of the land ad joining the part sold, that he refused to reply to letters from plaintiff ask ing him to come and settle the mat ter, he passed many times within a hundred feet o fthe plaintiff’s hum hundred feet of the plaintiff’s hum to say a word about the matters in controversy, and the plaintiff insists that the defendant has no right to entrench himself on his large amount of real property in Warren county, and fortify himself behind his large amount of ‘other property’ to shield himself by a contract with his co defendant by the terms of which ‘this defendant was not to be liable for any damages occasioned by the sa d R. A. Harris to any person’ and then proceed to cut the plaintiff’s timber not included in his deed, to de ■stroy his fences, burn his land, de stroy the growing crops, and when his co-defendant told him that the plaintiff insisted that he was cutting over the 1 ne, and that he should not destroy the fences to order said co defendant to go on, cut all there was there, pay no attention to the fences. This wanton, willful, high handed disregard of the rights of the plaintiff entitles the plaintiff to pun itive damages in the sum of twenty five hundred dollars. “Therefore the plaintiff pays judg ment as in his original complaint and for the sum of Twenty-Five Hun dred Dollars as punitive damages and the costs of this action.” WAKELON PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION Why should we have a community school organization ? Why should we call such an organization a Parent- Teacher Association ? No doubt these questions have been in the minds of all who are in terested in the school and community. The more we think of it, the more we must realize that no other organi zation # however many there may be can take the place of some kind of an organization of parents and teach ers whose purpose shall be to func tion primarly for the school. The name? “What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would 3meil as sweet.” We recognize truth in this sentiment and yet what could be more filling than to call such an organization as we have in m.nd by the simple compound “Par ent-Teacher” association ? “A Successful Parent-Teacher As sociation Offers To The Parents— “A means of securing definite in formation about the school: the course of study, the recreation facil ities, the opportunity for vocational training, the health standards of the school, and the home cond.tions of the children. “An opportunity to meet the teach ers to whom a large proportion of .heir children’s time is entrusted, and to meet also the parents of their :h:ldren’s companions. “An avenue through which they may become informed about educational methods and equipment, an create the school atmosphere with which they de. ire to surround the r children’s school days. A Successful Parent-Teacher As sociation Offers To The Teachers— “An assurance that the parents are supporting them in their efforts to improve the school. “An opportunity to meet the par ents of their pupils so that they may deal more fairly and sympathetically with the children and may have an opportunity to understand the child- icn o u.d vATuril' unT "."jliective needsT “An avenue through which needed improvements and equipment may be brought to the attention -if the vot ers and the School Board.” A large Association is good; An active Association is better; A large, active Association is the ideal! Next meeting Tuesday, October 6, 3:30 p. m. Poetic Name for City The appellation “City of the Violet Crown” was bestowed upon the city of Athens by the ancient Athenians. The origin of the term Is In dispute, and Is variously explained. Accord ing to some authorities, the violet was the favorite flower of the Athenians, and thus became the symbol of the city. Aristophanes, In his “Equltes” and “Achamlans,” speaks of Athens as the “Violet-Crowned." According to others, lon (the Greek for violet) was a king of Athens, was In cqpae quence lon’s city, the violet city, the city of King lon, or the city of King Violet.—Kansas City Times.
